Classic Poem

JERUSALEM: THE CITY OF HIS DEATH .

I thought of J ESUS , as I walked
A pilgrim through J ERUSALEM .
What memories does its history trace!
His living love; His dying grace;
The bread; the wine; the coming doom;
The Scourge; the Crown; the Cross; the Tomb;
Then, in the Paschal hymn,
This, from J ERUSALEM I heard, —
City most Holy to our dying Lord!
